I live in NorCal, for the record.

I’ve encountered some very positive reactions when I mentioned Smith. I’ve heard “Oh, I know some people who love it there!” and “I’ve heard that you get a lot of attention there.” Stuff like that. I am actually surprised by how many people know about it and/or know people who went there, considering that I’m not in New England. I’ve also had very few negative reactions in comparison to the positive ones.

But really, don’t make fame that huge of a factor. If you have relatives who think Texas A&M is the best, there’s not a whole lot you can do to change that. And, as baublestrinkets said, some of the most well-known schools are large universities with good football teams.
